Yummy-licious! This is so good, you'd never know I used light ingredients. It's snowing outside so this made a very nice treat- just for me. And I had so much fun setting up the photo, too! Thanks, Nif! -
This is really really good hot chocolate Nif..but I will confess. I added one chocolate hershey kiss to the bottom of my mug....well, just because. It really is a delicious cuppa cocoa with the addition of crushed candycanes. Great idea~ Made for KK"s Chef's Pick. :-)

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
